Dark marks that will not fade. Acne scars that keep staring back at you. Texture that makes makeup sit wrong. You have tried the gentle options, and nothing has changed. You are tired of wasting money and time, and you want skin that looks smooth, even, and photo-ready, not just “better than before.” Resurfacing Crème is a professional-strength nighttime retinol (vitamin A) treatment designed for skin that needs real movement. Retinol supports faster-looking renewal, which helps stubborn discoloration and rough texture look smoother over time. The key is using it correctly, because irritation can create new marks. This is a focused treatment product, not a soothing one. Use it correctly, respect recovery nights, and let it do its job. This is the treatment you use when you are done negotiating with your skin and ready to take your power back. Dermatologist-tested. Not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Do not use with Spot Treatment or any other retinoid in the same night.
New to Resurfacing Crème? Patch test first: apply a small amount to your inner arm and wait 24 hours. No reaction, you're clear to start on your face. Ease in for one week: apply every other night in a thin layer before starting your first full cycle. Then begin the standard cycle below.
PM only: Apply 5 pumps as a thin, even layer to clean, dry face, avoiding eyes and lips, then let it absorb fully. Use in 14-day cycles with a mandatory 3-day break, then repeat. It works on its own, and if you are layering, keep it simple with cleanser, then Resurfacing Crème, then a plain moisturizer if needed. Refining Crème is fine in the morning on cycle days too, just leave at least 8 hours between the two. Safety: Do not use with Spot Treatment, Purifying Toner, or any other retinoid the same night, and never pair with prescription tretinoin the same day. If you experience excessive redness, burning, rawness, or severe peeling, stop use, follow the Recovery Protocol on our Retinol Rules page, and restart at the ease-in pace, not mid-cycle. Mild dryness or light peeling in the first couple weeks is expected. Learn what's normal → or read the full Retinol Rules → This product is designed to last about 60 days with cycle use.

Build a routine around Resurfacing Crème
How To Use
Three steps. Simple and consistent.
Works on its own. Works in a routine. Works with other brands. Consistency is the only rule.
01
PM only — start with a clean face
Cleanse thoroughly and let skin dry fully before applying. Keep your PM routine simple: cleanser, then this crème, then a plain moisturizer if needed.
02
Apply 5 pumps in a thin, even layer
Cover face and neck, avoiding eyes and lips. Let it absorb fully. This is your full PM treatment — no other actives needed on the same night.
03
Use in 14-day cycles
Apply nightly for 14 days, take a 3-day break, then repeat. This cycle approach gets results without triggering post-inflammatory irritation. Read the Retinol Rules before starting.
Contains retinol. Read the Retinol Rules before starting — especially if you use prescription tretinoin.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is a clinical-strength retinol treatment for stubborn dark marks, acne scars, and rough texture. It is made for real movement, not a mild glow.
Peeling is common, especially early on. It is part of the renewal process. Keep your routine simple and do not pick at the flakes.
Use it at night only, in thin layers, and respect recovery nights. If your skin feels hot, raw, or overly tight, pause the retinol and focus on moisturizing until calm.
Start slow. Use it 2 to 3 nights per week for the first 2 weeks, then increase only if your skin stays comfortable. Keep the rest of the routine simple: gentle cleanse, Resurfacing Creme, then moisturizer.
Some dryness, light flaking, and mild purging can happen early on. That is your skin adjusting. What is not normal is burning, raw skin, severe peeling, or swelling. If you get those, stop retinol and switch to gentle cleansing, heavy moisturizer, and daily SPF until calm.
Yes. Although this product has retinol within its formulation, we added sunscreen to protect you from general sun exposure. If you will have longer outside exposure, such as a day at the beach, use a hat and an SPF to protect you from prolonged sun exposure further.
Yes, it is still working. It means that there is no more damaged skin, and the product is now easily absorbed in the pores to fade your skin to perfection.
We do not recommend constantly mixing vitamin A with ingredients such as vitamin C, benzoyl peroxide, and AHA/BHA acids within the same skin regimen due to the fantastic naturally exfoliating properties in vitamin A. To have complete control over your initial skin journey, we recommend you not mix this product with other brands unless tested together on the forearm prior.
You should use the Resurfacing Crème in 14-day intervals to start. Give your skin two to three days break in between the intervals. Once your skin becomes used to the product, and you receive flawless results, you can use it as needed. You can also use it every night or every other night based on your preference to keep your skin flawless.
